As a sidebar, I thought I was the only person left who still used the term "paramour." When I used it in my reports to clients some would tell me that was a "judgemental" word. I kept using it because they were being judgemental, not I. PC is pernicious crap.

Millions of girls are forced to make this horrible choice every day. And the liberal response, of course, is...

you're so stupid.

So much better to have an abortion, repress the whole thing, and pretend it never happened.

This sort of unintended pregnancy doesn't happen to celebrities and other successful people. Have you noticed? Those babies disappear.

What's so infuriating about the Palins--and people like them--is how low class they are. And by low class we mean people who are honest and open and say what they think and feel. We're embarrassed by these hillbillies with their unwanted babies.

Althouse mocks people for being unable to "keep it in their pants." Yes, you're unable to control yourself, you silly, silly boy.

How many times do we reference sex on this blog? How many times do we talk about it, think about it, joke about it?

All the fucking time.

And now we're going to point fingers and mock somebody for an unintended pregnancy?

The hypocrisy of liberals is appalling and quite stupid. And dishonest.

These days sex doesn't have to lead to babies. If you participate in the start of a pregnancy and didn't mean to, you're not too bright. Especially if you don't have the means to support the resultant child. That's low class.

I think on a subconscious, animal level, we want to have babies. We want to reproduce. To me this isn't stupidity so much as people following their subconscious desires. She wants a family with Levi. She wants to have a baby with him. "I forgot my birth control."

Oh, did you?

And he wants to have a baby with her. This subconscious desire is often repressed and denied. And for many of us, when the pregnancy happens, the repression and the denial take the physical form of making the pregnancy disappear.

Liberals believe in plans and control. Parenthood should be planned. Sex should be planned. Populations should be controlled. Everything should be regulated.

But human beings have feelings. And a primal desire to mate and have children. This is what gives sex its power.

Birth control is technology. This idea that people can't work the condom or swallow the pill, bah. We want this to happen. We recognize it can happen and we dare ourselves to allow it to happen.

I really think we should question the concept of "accident" when it comes to sex.

"Forgot the condoms" = didn't really care if she got pregnant or not. Like my nephew's 17-year-old girlfriend and mother of twins, who's saving the babies' outgrown clothes for her sister, since she's 16 after all, and ready to be a mom herself.

I have friends who named their sons Smith and Wesson and a woman I used to work with who agreed to name her son Shadow Wolf and her daughter Autumn Willow after her boyfriend's two favorite Magic the Gathering cards.

White trash, black trash - call it whatever you want but it is hurting the country

Are you still talking about babies? Babies are hurting the country? Sex is hurting the country? Fornication? What is the "it" that is hurting the country? Lack of abortion is hurting the country? Do we need to air drop birth control into the Alaska wilderness? Perhaps we should mandate birth control and save the country from the horrible scourge of whatever it is that is hurting the country.

Many many of them are essentially doomed to a shitty life.

Humanity? Humanity is doomed? Or babies are doomed? Is it the poor that are doomed? White trash is doomed? Or are black people doomed? You want to save black people from the evils of reproduction?

Could you give us some more detail on the shitty life this white trash baby might expect? And what are your plans to save her from her shitty white trash life? Or are we just mocking her shitty white trash existence? And since you managed to work both race and shit into your diatribe, might I ask how your toilet training has affected your politics?

Make a commitment, get married , give your kids a far greater chance to grow up in a two-parent family as opposed to a single parent households with a bunch of half-brothers and half-sisters coming and going.

Maybe we all should just take a break, after all, Levi's just a young kid, barely into his 20's, perhaps. Poor guy has got enough to worry about than just taking care of his growing family, so to speak!

A certain pleasurable physical act sometimes results in a baby. This is not news. Even rednecks know it. What is sometimes not accepted is that after that baby is created it has life and its parents are responsible for it. Civilizations that take the responsibility of caring for children away from parents, devalue life and encourage sexual immorality end up with a bunch of problems that governments can't solve. Only decency can solve it and decency is in short supply in such a society.

Bottom line: There's a new kid in the world, and a raising there will be. Full stop. I don't see how kvetching over the incidental famous among an infinitesimal number of parents is particularly helpful in facing, much less doing, the reality of bringing up kids to take charge of their own lives.

I appreciate the points but you know I agree with Darcy. I also would suggest that reducing humanity to just another animal is dangerous. And it's also dangerous to reduce humanity to a biological creation. "That's my sperm and her egg and we created it so we can do whatever we want to it." No. We have sex and sex creates babies, but it's not like we are authors with absolute power over our creation. I've made this point before, it's dangerous to play god. And if religious people make the mistake of thinking they speak for God, atheists can make the mistake of playing god. It's a similar arrogance.

I am, of course, familiar with both arrogance and self-righteousness. And being glib about sex.
